Wen Zhen caught up from behind, heard the second half of the words, smiled in his heart, and thought that this misunderstanding would cost his life.

The people of Huzhou don't know how tired they were paying taxes in previous years, they think that four times is definitely four times the actual taxes paid in previous years, not to mention that this year is a famine, it is not a famine year, this is also to sell children and daughters to ask for people's lives.

But for the imperial court, the actual tax received by Huzhou every year is only one-third of the actual amount, even if it is quadrupled, it is only an increase of two percent compared with the original, and then subtracted by half, that is, it is only slightly higher than in previous years, although it is still high, but it is actually not so terrifying.

Naturally, she will not help Yan Jue explain that the purpose of the Fengbaocang incident is to guess that the final tax amount will not be low, and to make a good start for the imperial court to raise military rations, but someone needs to offend the people.

The atmosphere around was almost suffocated, and after a long time, an old man groaned and said, "Your Highness, please have mercy on our people in Huzhou......"

"And said that this king has no pity!" Yan Jue was furious, "Isn't this king already asking for a reduction of half!" Fengbaocang's military ration collection is imminent, the court understands you, but you don't want to worry about the country, you are really a group of people! ”

The old man's tears rolled down, and no one spoke on all sides, but the angry grief in his eyes was about to turn into substance, and Yan Jue was on fire.

Yan Jue looked around left and right, thinking that he could gain gratitude, but he didn't want to be mourned all of them, so he was even more aggrieved and angry, but at this moment, Wen Zhen still said with an embarrassed face: "Your Highness, there is a big drought this year, and this tax committee really can't collect ...... like this."

Before she finished speaking, Yan Sui had already jumped off the sedan chair: "Wen Zhen, come to buy people's hearts again, I thought you could be the assassin of Huzhou for a few days——"

As soon as he became angry, the people around him rushed up, Yan Jue became more sensitive, and turned his head suddenly, "What do you Diao people want to do!" Want to rebel! ”

Wen Zhen suddenly turned her head, and she smelled a strange smell.

Pregnant people, the sense of smell is more sensitive, she smells a little burnt. It was such a hot day, and after a day of baking, the air already felt a burnt smell, which was not obvious, but she immediately turned around.

Then she saw a red mountain!

Then she suddenly found that the wind was blowing!

Then she saw a red thread rushing along the wind.

Wen Zhen shouted violently: "Mountain fire! Spread out! ”

At this time, most of the people were still stunned, and then a few people behind also caught up, shouting: "There is a fire on the mountain behind!" ”

And in the time of these two sentences, everyone has seen that the red line has turned into a red wall, and they will be in front of them in a blink of an eye along the only road!

The screams were everywhere, most people knew the horror of the mountain fire, almost instantly, the crowd was chaotic, the mountain road was narrow, and the crowd of people who rushed and bumped immediately knocked Yan Jue, who had just jumped off the sedan chair, and he was just about to scold, and was hit by a person who rushed by, and fell on a stone on the side, he screamed in pain, seeing that it seemed to be an official of Huzhou Mansion next to him, he hurriedly called: "Hey, you hurry up and pull me......" As a result, the man didn't seem to hear, turned around and ran away quickly, and there was an old man with a water bladder on his back, Just as he was about to pour it on his head, Yan Jue saw the great joy and stretched out his hand and shouted: "Give it to me!" This king will reward you with high officials! As a result, the other party looked at him and poured all the water on his head with a bang.

Yan Jue: "......"

But at this time, it was too late for him to think about why he was so hated, he was lame, immobile, constantly knocked away, rolling on the ground, everyone seemed to suddenly not recognize him, and even when he hit him, the strength was amazing, Yan Jue was knocked into a gourd and kept spinning and rolling, while the sky was spinning, he felt that the compelling heat wave was approaching, and a thought vaguely flashed in his heart: "Could it be that I am going to die here today!" Thinking of this, he was unwilling after all, and shouted in a mournful voice: "Wen Zhen! If you don't save me, the prince will die in Huzhou, and you will not be able to escape the blame! ”

No one responded, he was desperate, suddenly his eyes were empty, it was his guards who rushed over and grabbed the person away, but in the blink of an eye he was scattered by the chaotic crowd, Yan Jue struggled to step on the back of a fallen person and got up, and when he turned around, he saw the wall of fire standing above the sky, and it seemed to be able to hit his head in the blink of an eye, and suddenly changed color.

Wen Zhen didn't care about him at this time, took a breath, jumped on a tall stone next to him, and said loudly again: "Everyone disperse, don't run down the mountain road, you can't outrun!" Will be chased by fire and surrounded! Go against the wind! Go sideways! ”

Su Xun pushed aside the crowd and rushed to her, grabbed a person who was dizzy and wanted to run to the top of the mountain when he heard the headwind, and shouted: "You can't run to the top of the mountain!" The fire at the top of the mountain will be faster! Don't hit the fire! Don't hit the limelight! Wherever there is little vegetation and where there is a water source, flee to it! Remember, don't go to the valley! ”

Wen Zhen: "Whoever has a fire fold on his body can burn all the plants and trees around him first!" Clear out the isolation zone! ”

"If you can't run, try to choose a boulder on the downwind side to hide! Take off all the clothes that are easy to burn on your body! ”

"Do me a favor if you know how to read the wind! The wind is different everywhere in the mountains! ”

Her voice was not loud at this time, but it was still clear, and her tone was steady, without panic, and everyone listened, and their panicked mentality gradually calmed down, and they naturally did what she said, first scattering, and then descending, looking for a place with few stones or grass, looking for a place with a water source......

Someone was screaming, it was a few slow-paced, over-flustered, running to the wrong place and being chased by the fire, seeing the whole body on fire, the form was miserable, and the crowd was terrified...... Wen Zhen motioned to Wen Dandan to think of a way in the past, and he didn't know what kind of way Wen Dandan had come up with, probably the kind of Gu poison that made people's limbs numb and stiff, those people no longer screamed, stiffened and rolled on the ground a few times, just to extinguish the fire, and they could still get up and continue to run, which invisibly reduced the panic atmosphere, and it was very important to escape and control the panic in the disaster, everyone dispersed smoothly again, Wen Zhen once again ordered his guards to disperse to help the rear, the elderly with inconvenient legs and feet and the people who had been injured.

The figure flashed, and Leng Ying appeared behind Wen Zhen, grabbed her hand, and said, "My lord, there's a waterhole over there, I'll take you there!" ”

Wen Zhen sighed.

Just now, the moment when the crowd stepped on it, it was really a good opportunity to kill Yan Jue.

The mountain fire was caused by him, and he acted perversely in Huzhou, even if he died in Huzhou because of the mountain fire, his guilt would not be great. As long as he stayed in such a panicked crowd for a few more moments, Wen Zhen was sure to kill him.

But no.

Mountain fires devour lives in seconds, and if you don't disperse the crowd at the first time, it is likely that something big will happen in the next moment.

She can't do it for the sake of personal vendetta and disregard innocent lives.

Never mind. He also has the advantage of not dying, there will inevitably be casualties in the mountain fire, he is there, this pot has to be carried by him, he dies, the emperor is sad about the death of his son, naturally he can't bear to blame him, this pot will inevitably have to be carried by himself.

Wen Zhen vaguely felt that unlike the eldest prince, the emperor still liked Yan Jue.

"Su Xun you go down! Jackdaw, you take the mulberry picking! Leng Ying, you take Zhang Yue to ...... first," Wen Zhen made arrangements.

When she shouted like this, she glanced at Su Xun, and saw standing behind the crowd, facing the mountains of fire, pressing one hand to her heart, and making a gesture that looked a little strange.

At that moment, his side face was cold in the chaotic light and shadow.

Wen Zhen's heart trembled for no reason, and he only felt as if he was touched, but it was difficult to speak.

Zhang Yue poked his face out from behind a big stone and shouted, "Leng Ying take the adults and leave!" ”

He didn't follow Wen Zhen, he was afraid that he would follow Wen Zhen, no martial arts would get in the way, Wen Zhen would send someone to protect him, and he would be distracted by him, seeing that Wen Zhen was safe for a while, Leng Ying also appeared, so he rushed to hide behind a stone first, and after saying hello at this moment, he was a cat's waist, pouting his buttocks, and rushed down the mountain sideways.

Wen Zhen looked at Lord Zhang, who was not diligent in the past, and crawled away sideways like a crab at this moment, thinking about when he was so agile, and shouted with a headache: "That direction is not good, the wind direction has changed!" ”

Leng Ying had already teleported to Zhang Yue's side with her, grabbed Zhang Yue again, and said: "I can barely bring two ......" Before the words fell, a person suddenly rushed over from the oblique stab, knocked down Zhang Yue, and grabbed Leng Ying's hand.

At this time, Leng Ying had already begun to teleport, and it was too late to get rid of this person and replace Zhang Yue, Wen Zhen saw who it was in a trance, and rarely burst into a foul mouth: "!" ”

The next moment she arrived at a puddle, saying that it was a puddle, but it was actually a small puddle that was not big, Wen Zhen had just been put down, and before the person could stand firmly, he kicked him, and with a bang, the person was kicked into the puddle, struggling and fluttering, only to reveal a shocked and angry face: "Wen Zhen!" What are you doing! ”

Wen Zhen stared at Yan Jue's face full of bruises, and secretly regretted in his heart that this guy was actually good at water, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, what can I do?" Naturally, I'm going to get you wet so you can deal with the fire! ”

Yan Jue choked for a moment, but he was always relieved to be soaked in the water at the moment, he stared at Wen Zhen for a while, and suddenly laughed, "Angry?" Angry, isn't it? I robbed you of your adulterer's life, no wonder you are angry. After speaking, he patted the water, "Come down, come down and soak in the mandarin duck bath with this king, hey, no, you can't come down, you come down, and when the people who escape will see it, it will become you and this king to soak in the mandarin duck bath in disheveled clothes, and the name will be completely ruined, then you really can't marry the third child." ”

He thought about it, and smiled again: "If you can't marry the third child, you will marry this king, this king is no worse than the third child, I heard that my father once intended to let you be the third side concubine, how can this work, how wronged you are, if you marry this king, it must be a concubine, how about it?" Think about it? ”

Wen Zhen hugged his knees, sat at the water's edge, stared at him with a smile, and said: "Your Highness, if I were you, I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense here at this moment, after all, the person in front of me is a master of poisoning and an old enemy for many years, I will be afraid of soaking, what if the skin on my body falls off one by one?" ”

Yan Jue's face changed.

I just wanted to hold on and say that you dare to threaten me, but then I felt that my whole body was itching.

He subconsciously scratched it, scratched it, felt as if he had grabbed something, looked down, and his scalp exploded.

What is a small piece of white floating in the water?

When I looked at my arm again, there was already a small tear.

"Something!" He screamed and leaped out of the water and ashore. The strange thing is that after going ashore, the itch disappeared and the skin did not fall off.

Seeing him go ashore, Wen Zhen laughed, sprinkled some powder into the water, went into the water leisurely, and beckoned Leng Ying: "Come, sprinkle alum, the water is not dirty after purification, you can come and soak." ”

Yan Jue listened to the words trampled on in front of him, his face distorted for a moment, after all, he didn't dare to go into the water to share a pool with Wen Zhen, anyway, his body was wet, and he was not afraid of mountain fire for the time being, so he squatted on the edge of the puddle, stared at Wen Zhen and said: "Bubble, wait for the people to rush down, see the beauty out of the bath, this king watch, it is also a beautiful talk." ”

Wen Zhen ignored him, soaked in the water by himself, saw that Leng Ying's body was already wet, and motioned for her to save Zhang Yue and the others again, Leng Ying had to order to leave, and didn't care that Yan Jue was here, anyway, in front of the adults, except for His Royal Highness, they were all scum, not enough for her to abuse with one finger.

Wen Zhen observed the surrounding terrain in the pond, and determined that this place was almost to the foot of the mountain, not far from the way down the mountain, because it was covered by a stone wall and vines, it was a relatively hidden water source, and because it had been dry for too long, many water sources on the mountain had been exhausted, I don't know if it was a river, there was actually half a pond of water, as long as the surrounding vines and weeds were cleared, the stone wall would be a natural barrier, the mountain fire was difficult to extinguish, and the road down the mountain was very dangerous, and this place was a suitable place to take refuge.

She looked at Yan Jue again, there was no one in the col at the moment, or ......

When she looked at it like this, Yan Jue, who was still proudly watching the beauty out of the bath, suddenly felt cold, after all, she was born in the royal family, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that the four fields were lonely, and the people who escaped and the mountain fire were still far away, and at this moment, only she and the female demon king, face to face.

He finally sensed something was wrong.

This female demon king has murderous intentions.

If he dies here......

She's going to be in trouble, but not more than he's going to be in trouble for her if he survives.

Thinking about this, he pulled his legs and fled!

Before he could run two steps, his knees were weak, and he fell to the ground, and he heard the sound of the water, and the female demon king was about to come out of the water, his heart was cold, and he regretted it for a while and wanted to give himself a slap in the face - why did the ghost send God and Zhang Yue to grab the position before!

Wen Zhen slowly stood up from the water, not deliberately slow, she needed this action to clear her thoughts, and judge the various follow-ups that killing Yan Jue might bring, not only what she needed to face, but also what related to Yan Sui, the latter was the real reason for her slight hesitation.

After all, when it comes to the prince and the relationship between her and Yan Sui, what will the emperor think?

Only this was slow, and suddenly she heard a human voice, and at the same time, Yan Jue also heard it, and shouted like crazy: "Come on!" Come on! There's a water source here! ”

Wen Zhen snorted.

When it comes to life and death, people will always be smarter.

Yan Jue knew that he was not invited to see him, and he was afraid that people would not come if he heard his voice, so he deliberately shouted that there was life here, this was to fight for his own life.

But indeed, no matter who comes, she can't kill Yan.

Sure enough, the footsteps were mixed, the shadows of the trees shook, and someone rushed over, in this last moment, there was a loud noise, Wen Zhen swept over, Yan Jue's liver and gall were broken, and he drew his knife and slashed backwards indiscriminately, shouting: "Don't come here!" ”

There was a faint snort, and then his body rose into the air, and the next moment he slammed into the water, splashing, and dimly saw a group of people rushing over.

When the splash subsided, he saw a large group of people opposite, including officials, people, and their own people, all of whom were covered with charred ashes, describing themselves as embarrassed, and they were soaked in the water, Wen Zhen stood by the puddle, pulling his sleeve that was cut by the knife, and sighed: "His Royal Highness King Ding, you don't allow the officials to enter the puddle to soak, and you don't need to draw a knife to face each other!" ”

Yan Jue: "......"

Wanting to justify, he thought of his last sentence, and then looked at everyone's eyes, he simply shut up.

Anyway, in Wen Zhen's pit, he has always been planted in a row, and he is too lazy to struggle when he gets used to it.

Wen Zhen beckoned everyone again, "Everyone take turns to wet their clothes, and the rest of the people go to clear the vines and dead grass, and clear out the isolation zone, this place is safe, the people below should have organized firefighting, and it is not too late to go out when the fire is small." ”

Everyone naturally responded, and when a group of people went to clean up the vines, a group of people came to the puddle, Yan Jue saw people coming, and subconsciously became nervous, and shouted: "Don't get too close to this king!" What about the guards! Come and defend the king! ”

The puddle is only half a square circle, and he is not allowed to get too close to him, how can others get water. King Ding's guards rushed over, stopped in front of the puddle, everyone stopped, angry flames flashed in their eyes, Wen Zhen stepped forward, she was skillful, and in an instant she made a bucket with rattan, handed it to King Ding's guards, and said: "Since the people are not allowed to approach, please ask this eldest brother to help fetch water for you to wet." ”

Everyone looked at Wen Zhen gratefully, Yan Jue became more and more congested, but he didn't know that it would not be possible not to fetch water, he turned his head with a cold snort, and the guards only then fetched water to wet everyone's clothes, at this time there were shouts and footsteps outside, and a large number of people came up to the mountain, but the people under the mountain saw the mountain fire, and they all spontaneously came to fight the fire and save people, because the water dragon was prepared in advance, and the water was also filled, and they dragged it all the way up, and they cleared a way out of the road blocked by the fire, and caught many people who had no way to escape.

The mountain fire could not be extinguished in an instant, Wen Zhen was afraid of causing too many casualties, so he asked Leng Ying, who rescued Zhang Yue and others, to go out and give an order, so that everyone could burn and cut out the isolation zone in the small part of the fire, and at the cost of sacrificing half of the mountain, the fire was isolated on the mountain to ensure the safety of the people under the mountain.

Fortunately, this mountain is not big and relatively independent, so it will not stretch for countless people and burn down the houses. But it was also busy until midnight, the fire gradually subsided, half of the sky was filled with scorched ash, the air was hot and choking, Wen Zhen looked at the busy crowd like a long snake, thinking about coming to Huzhou, encountering fires one after another, everything is a big thing, it seems that it is not enough to worship a god of wealth in the shrine, but also to worship Zhu Rong.

She counted the number of people who came here to take refuge, more than 100 people went up the mountain, and now it is almost the same, and everyone around her is there, which is also a blessing in misfortune.

There were mixed footsteps ahead, but the firefighting force came, and he was also supporting Li Liancheng, the richest man in Huzhou, whose hair was burned all over, Li Liancheng looked sad and angry, and when he saw Wen Zhen, he knelt down with a puff, and choked up: "My lord, please call the shots for us, the tombs on the mountain have been burned down, and the ancestral graves of my Li family have been burned down......"

As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar, only to remember that this mountain is mostly the place where their ancestors buried their bones, and they were busy running for their lives before, but they reacted at this moment, only to feel that the blood in their whole body rushed up with a bang, and some people immediately screamed and ran up the mountain, and were hurriedly dragged down, and more people knelt on the scorched black land and kowtowed, crying that their children and grandchildren were not filial, and for a while the ground was full of howling, crying all over the field, and the poignant sound was rushing to the sky.

The grief and indignant wails of thousands of people echoed in the scorched mountains at midnight, and the moonlight was as dark as blood, and people like Wen Zhen trembled when they heard it, not to mention the initiator Yan Jue, he immediately knew that it was not good, and urgently ordered the guards: "Take me away!" Fast! The water crawled out of the puddle, and before the guards could carry him, I don't know who shouted in the crowd, "His Royal Highness King Ding, compensate my ancestors for their peace!" Immediately, the crowd of people rushed over, and in an instant, the water splashed, and the sound of exclamation and scolding was endless, mixed with Yan Jue's screams and scolding, but it was crowded, and the black pressure was hard to see.

Wen Zhen has been far away from the puddle since everyone knelt and kowtowed, and when she reached the periphery of the crowd, at this moment, the anger that people had pent-up was finally ignited and rushed to the puddle, she naturally "didn't have time" to rescue, and only shouted with her sleeves outside the crowd: "Fathers, don't be impatient!" Your Highness! Your Highness! ”

Someone else held her by the shoulders and sent her out, and said to her indignantly: "My lord! Don't fight for this highness anymore! He's a heartless one! ”

Zhang Yue next to him: "......"

To be a man like this, no one really looks down on him.

Of course, no one can look down on Wen Zhen as a person.

The Chinese language is really broad and profound.
